Okay, I know Criterion already has a Kurasawa set but come on, there’s only 4 fuckin’ movies on it.

They need to release an ultimate set, like the Kubrick set a few years back but with the criterion features.

I think 2 sets would do it.

Set 1

Kurasawa’s Samurai tales

Rashomon 50

Seven Samurai 54

Throne of blood 57

The Hidden Fortress 58

Yojimbo 61

Sanjuro 62

Red beard 65

Kagemusha 80

Ran 85

Dreams 92?

Set 2

Kurasawa’s Non samuria

Stray Dog 49

Ikiru 52

The Bad Sleep Well 60

High and Low 63

The Lower Depths (maybe)

The first set should be 100 to 120 dollars. basically affordable. The second 50 or 60.

Who’s with me? All of his films should be in a large set like this, I mean come on he’s one of the most important directors of the 20th century, and the only set there is is four movies? Since Criterion has the rights for all these movies they should offer all of them together. Hitchcock’s got 2 sets like this out currently, that’s because different studios own the properties.

No I never bought it. I was going to, but I reconsidered since I see the film on TV so much. Plus, I saw one of the docs about the film on AMC. I’m not spending all that $$ for it. I love the film, but its not a DVD I really need.

Got great news for those who have been dying to see salo but dont want to pay $500 or more for them well dont you worryabout it anymore Criterion has re-newed the rights for salo and it will be out sometime in 2007,also its in HD.
